Hey there! My blog post this time, is to address a query you might have had about split delivery from a single domain. I’ve seen this being discussed on a couple of online forums so I thought it would be a good idea to shed some light on the topic. What is split delivery? Split delivery means emails will be delivered to the same domain but to two mail systems simultaneously. With split delivery, an incoming message is delivered to either a Gmail inbox or a legacy system inbox, depending on the recipient. This method works well if some of […]

Instant messaging has done nothing to stall the importance of email for both personal and business use today. We use email often enough, if not everyday.

We did a detailed analysis of the attack pattern and found out that most of the attack was originating from CMSs (mostly wordpress). Further analysis revealed that the admin accounts had been compromised (in one form or the other) and malicious scripts were uploaded into […]

We recently encountered the happy problem of running out of space in our current Data Center. After weeks of looking for a new home, we completed the move to our new Data Center – Datafoundry’s Texas One, about a month ago. With this move, we’ve taken our infrastructure to a whole new level! In fact, as soon as we zeroed in on Texas One, we knew we wanted to move our existing client base there and ensure that they reap the benefits of an improved & highly scalable infrastructure set-up. About Texas One: Texas One is a 250,000 sq ft […]

We were discussing ‘101’ stuff like growth in volumes and tapping in to emerging markets (we’re based out of India and totally relate to the impact emerging markets can have). Something that stood out at that time was the largest players/Registrars in the world. The top 10 today, are all based out of either USA, Canada or Europe Their rank and total number of domains suggests that they are well known internationally […]
